5 wks post op and need a change of protein.

I realize I am close to stage 4 but eggs are getting boring and I can't eat the chicken cause it just doesn't puree up fine enough. Any suggestion on alternate proteins would be greatly appreciated.

refried beans and cheese. Also I heard that chick fil a makes a chicken salad cup that is good. I am unable to master chicken as of yet. Good luck! Denise

tuna and cottage cheese (I know my family said but I think it tastes great and a little bit is quite filling. I puree sauteed shrimp with a little mayo and canned chicken can be purreed easier than the other. I also love boarshead lite braunschwieger which is smooth and tasty. Of course I love just about everything, sardines, fish, canned salmon, you name it. I even make ff sf chocolate pudding with Hood milk and a scoop of unjury protein powder. Good luck

Remember to eat the protein first Broth with egg whipped into it. Smooth Soups JELL-O Yogurt Eggs, scrambled very soft, or mashed very very well (try with low fat mayo) mashed potatoes mashed beans creamy peanut butter liverwurst, chopped liver, etc. pate hummus Low fat - sugar free pudding Low fat ricotta, cream cheese, cottage cheese Pastina (over cook it, add some cheese and margarine) Tofu Gifilte Fish Day 28 (Week Four) Continue with above - Begin introducing some new foods. One a day - soft and moist.
